That's Clare, my oldest baby, with Molly, my youngest. Clare's visiting from Brighton for the Christening, which is on Sunday coming.
Leech or flatworm? Ants and Swiss Chard
For the 2nd time in a week or so, (1st time regarding dwarf beans ), I'm following Alys Fowler's advice, this time with regard to Swiss chard . Long story short, after midsummer plants which often bolt if planted in spring will resist the impulse to do so, probably because of shortening days; (I say shortening, but in Glasgow, in July, we're still getting 18 hours of daylight). I got a packet of Bright Lights , at a good price, (another reason to wait until July before sowing, lots of bargains, I've noticed). But where to sow them? Most of the 2nd bed is under a tarpaulin, but it wasn't quite big enough to cover the whole bed, so the last 5ft or so went under a sheet of plastic, (in the background of the photo in this post, here .) Transparent plastic was a foolish idea, weeds were growing underneath it, so I covered most of it with sheets of metal from the old shed. I decided to leave the tarp, but use the area beneath the plastic for the chard. Who-ah there...
What a lovely picture. I mean it, I think that is the best picture I have seen from you yet! I love how they are both looking intently at something in the same direction. You should blow that one up and frame it. What beautiful children you have!
ReplyDeleteOoh thanks! I love it, too - and you're right, it should go on the wall.
ReplyDeleteNow that's a great picture, regardless of what those bums at Flickr say!
ReplyDeleteThanks John - I'll cherish always your comment regarding Flickr.
ReplyDeleteHoe did an ugly bloke like you manage to produce two such gorgeous girls. ?
ReplyDeleteYou do have beautiful children. Hasn't Molly grown quickly??? How old is she now?
